This is really old. I first time saw it like in 2000. Still funny though.
RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

I read that a couple of years ago in The New New Labour Joke Book. Except the ending was "Zen ze drem vil finaly kom tru".

"We were not born into this world to be happy, but to do our duty." Bismarck
"You can't be a successful Dictator and design women's underclothing. One or the other. Not both." The Right Hon. Bertram Wilberforce Wooster
"Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication" - Lord Byron
"Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison." - C. S. Lewis
Re: New official language for the EU
Wait, isn't that what some people call American English, if there is such a thing.
Re: New official language for the EU
No, American English differs from English English mostly in the increased enunciation of the "r", the decreased enunciation of all other sounds and the reduction of most vowel sounds (especially in words with two or more syllables) to the neutral "-uh-".Wait, isn't that what some people call American English, if there is such a thing.
For instance-- English = "Pre-si-dent"
American = "PRREZ-uh-duhnt"
English = "How do you do, saaaah?"
American = "Howd'yuh do, srrrrr?"
English = "Dyuuuuuuouououring"
American = "Duh-rrring"
Or something like that....
DA
EDIT: British people also think I'm crazy when I tell them that "gotten" is even a word. It is, you poor, grammatically-truncated souls!!

Re: New official language for the EU
Don't worry Del, i'm British and believe 'gotten' is a word. It's in a Collins English Dictionary from 1986, therefore it's a word!
Re: New official language for the EU
Or rather: English like a Frenchman.
At the start, it just looks like AOL language.
